Hi! Is it possible to use tape0 as /dev/nst0, i.e. let mt position the tape and read from e.g. third track? mt -f /dev/tape0 fsf 1 did not work. Thanks -Ronny Mandal |

Your question does not solve the problem. I've checked the manual on mt, and can see that there is no such thing as the fsf parameter. If I was to rephrase the question, it would be "How do I use the Windows Vista SUA to cue the tape to proper position and dump the data fra that pos. to EOF". |

Your attitude doesn't help either. He said it seemed like you were attempting to use *nix based command variables in an NT-based environment. He was trying to figure out what you're up to. If you can be nice then I'm sure someone will help.

If you are going to interface with a tape drive from Vista you won't be able to do it with the command strings as listed. I don't doubt that you could do it using something like PowerShell. See: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/msh.mspx. What has to happen in addition to that I don't know but also see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/vista.mspx |
